Smooch (2011)

In this enchanting modern twist on the classic Frog Prince tale, "Smooch" weaves the story of an aristocratic English Royal, Percy, who is reluctantly dispatched to America for an arranged marriage that promises a significant dowry. His journey takes an unexpected turn when he finds solace in the nightlife of San Francisco, only to end up mugged, amnesiac, and inexplicably abandoned in the verdant heart of Golden Gate Park. Meanwhile, a spirited 11-year-old girl, Zoe Cole, grappling with her own dilemmas, ventures to the park with an unorthodox mission: to liberate a frog destined for dissection in her science class. A chance encounter leads to a whimsical misunderstanding, and Zoe believes her kind-hearted smooch transforms the frog into the dashing man she finds in the park. In a bid to keep her newfound "prince," Zoe ingeniously integrates Percy into her life, casting him in the role of a "Royal Nanny" to convince her beautiful, widowed mother, Gwen, to hire him. As Percy stumbles through the unfamiliar world of commoner life - guided by Zoe's favorite children's books and his own innate charm - he becomes increasingly drawn to Gwen. Simultaneously, Percy's royal family sets out on a frantic search for him, as the clock ticks down to his impending wedding. As his memory gradually resurfaces, Percy finds himself torn between his royal duties and the unexpected allure of a simpler life. Through a series of comical and heartwarming events, Percy, Zoe, and Gwen find themselves on a whimsical journey towards understanding that even amidst today's chaos, "happily ever after" isn't merely confined to fairy tales. "Smooch" is a charming testament to love, life, and the magic of unexpected encounters.
